About the Item
Napoleon III Patinated Bronze & Ormolu Crown, France, Circa 1870
A rare and unusual Napoleon III patinated bronze and ormolu crown from France, circa 1870. This distinctive work features a classic crown form with an 11.75-inch diameter, adorned with undulating ormolu orb points ranging from 3 to 4 inches in height. The crown rests elegantly on a continuous pierced trellis frieze, adding an intricate and refined touch to its overall design. The base opening measures 6.25 inches in diameter, offering a balanced and substantial presence.
While unmarked, the crown's workmanship suggests it may have been part of a larger bronze or marble sculpture, or it could stand alone as a fine representation of a historical crown or even a bed corona. The patinated bronze and ormolu accents reflect the opulence and grandeur typical of the Napoleon III period, characterized by an eclectic mix of styles and luxurious materials. This exceptional objet d'art would make a captivating addition to any collection of fine antiques or decorative arts, embodying the elegance and historical allure of 19th-century France. Its unique form and exquisite detailing make it a noteworthy work. This crown is not only a stunning decorative piece but also a fascinating glimpse into the artistry of the Napoleon III era, making it a noteworthy addition to any collection of fine art or historical artifacts.
